More from Kandice:

When traveling to new places one should do two things: experience and appreciate. Now these two words may mean different things based on different people but essentially to me it means doing what you normally wouldn’t do and taking part in every aspect another country has to offer. Such examples could include: their dress, their food, their transportation, their nightlife, their sports, and their history. For once in your life don’t do the usual or what makes you comfortable but what our friends of the UK view as “typical.” Now after shaking up your life appreciate the similarities and differences among yourselves. I find it hard to be in a new place and not find one thing that completely gives you a sense of awe. It’s not possible. From the beginning of this trip this has been an experience that will shape my attitude to foreign countries for quite awhile and intrigue me even more.

As the research for my “class” project continues I’ve begun to notice almost anything can determine your class but more importantly it’s how you view yourself and what you think of class. At any point someone can judge you based upon your actions and you can’t change that, sadly. So you have to do what you want; you can do anything you want but where you come from will never change. Sometimes class can come as a harsh reality but for others it remains something people spend their lives trying to understand. The class system continues to fascinate me.

Cheers to our followers…America is almost in sight!
